Edinson Cavani sends message to Liverpool FC star

Russia's forward Artem Dzyuba (C) celebrates with teammates after scoring during the Russian Federation 2018 World Cup Group A football match between Russian Federation and Egypt at the Saint PetersburgStadium in Saint Petersburg on June 19, 2018.

The 26-year-old made his first appearance since being withdrawn as Liverpool were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid in the showpiece fixture of Europe's premier cup competition, claiming a place in Hector Cuper's starting line-up.

And the Egypt global had to watch on as Uruguay claimed a 1-0 win over his side in their group stage opener.

However, after smashing Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the opening game, Russian Federation showed they are a force to contend with in the latter stages of the competition by blowing Egypt away with a three-goal salvo in 15 second-half minutes.

The hosts look set to qualify alongside Uruguay, who will play Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

"It is not an accident that we have two wins under our belt, we have a group of solidarity", said coach Stanislav Cherchesov.

Mohammed Salah pulled one back for the North Africans from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute but the game had already been decided by then.

The country selected 11 host cities to be the venues for the matches of the 2018 World Cup and they are Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Saransk, Kaliningrad, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Samara. They came in their droves, excited about their team having one of the very best players in the world.

"Would I prefer to see Salah play or not?"

Egypt's third and final game in this year's World Cup will be against Saudi Arabia, who will face South America's Uruguay tomorrow. I don't think majority expected, well certainly they didn't expect eight goals and two wins.

"We are not too euphoric because we do know there is going to be a hard match against Japan", Senegal coach Aliou Cisse said.

Salah looked far from the player who scored 44 goals in his debut season for Liverpool and former Chelsea left-back Yuri Zhirkov wasn't afraid to test his fitness with a series of robust challenges.

El-Shenawy's poor punch put Egypt under pressure, and Zobnin's first-time follow up spun in off the unfortunate Fathy, with VAR confirming that Dzyuba had not fouled his opponent.

"Whether I should stay in my post or not does not only depend on me".

"He could not prepare with us in the training sessions all the time, he had to train alone".
